MOTIVE or EL RODEO IS
Dummy For Book is Already at Printers
COLORFUL DRAWINGS
Slip Sheets Include Famous Sea Paintings
Making its appearance about May 15th, the 192G El Rodeo will far eclipse anything which has hitherto portrayed the Trojan college year, according to Ed Murray, editor of the year book. The dummy for the book is already made up and is in the hands of a very good printer whose name has not been divulged to date.
The motive of the book, according to ttye editor, is to be Spanish, as they were represented on the high seas many years ago. Romance and pirates will furnish the theme and will give a dash of colorful Spain to the book.
SJip-6heets and slip-ins will be pictures of marine settings from famous art galleries in the southland. Do-heny’s painting of the harbor will have | a prominent place in the book.
A new method of taking individual pictures will be attempted this year, according to Murray. A photographer who is very skilled in his profession will take these pictures. . He is a home portrait photographer an I will visit the fraternity and sorority houses oh specified dates and will photograph the entire group in one evening. A camera will be set up on the campus also, says Murray.
The book will consist of 512 pages this year and will contain the famous Alley Rkt section which has been popular with students in previous years. According to Murray it is possible that a feature section will be run which will consist of pictures of four men and four women picked by some competent committee. These men and women will represent the eight most popular young people on the campus, picked for their activities as well as their popularity.
A cover for the book has not bepn fully decided upon, was the statement given out by the editor, but experiments are being made on a new proc-j ess which, if it succeeds, will result in an innovation in covers.
The information given out about these processes are to the effect that I th^y have to do with water colors in some manner. This idea has never been tried in any school before, according to Mr. Murray, and hopes are held that it will prove a success.
The editor requests that all freshmen who have had experience in this kind of work and who are desirous of working on this year’s year book will kindly report and lea^e their names in his office in the journalism building.

TROJAN BAND ORGANIZES UNDER NEW POLICY FOR THIS YEAR
With Many Old Members Returning, Band Will Officiate Early in the Season; Tryouts Come Soon
By RITA PADWAY
New stunts at the football games, new uniforms, a ne\ policy, and a new set ot officers are to be the principal features of the Southern California band
this semester.
The first meeting of the band will be held Wednesday evening, September 22 at eight o’clock on the third floor of the Old College building. Posters on display in advantageous positions on the campus invite all new men interested to attend the meeting, which will be both for organization purposes and for try-outs. Former members of the band are being invited by letters

ARCHITECTS MOVE TO NEW HOME SOON
One-Story Structure is Around Central Patio

Work is being rushed to conipletion on the new Architectural Building, according to Professor Baldwin of that department, classes starting next week in the new building. The Southern
year’s band will return. After the business of t^ie evening is concluded there will be a social gathering with refreshments to give the men an opportunity to become acquainted.
The band this year is to try out a new policy. Formerly there have been a president and a vice-president in ad dition to the manager and director, but this year a socal chairman is to replace the first two ,and is to act at social functions under the direction

What Will the Well Dressed Man Wear? Clothes-Smile
What will the well-dressed man wear?
A smile, plus other accoutrements, if you would believe the Bachelors. And, of course ,they ought to know. This being the case, no well-bred young man, or woman, either, should venture forth upon the campus this week without a nice large smile where it can be seen by everyone.
Don’t be surprised if you should see any of the following things: (a) A •frosh greeting a soph, or (b) a soph greeting a frosh. Just hold your breath and remember that this is “Say Hello and Smile” week. Almost anything might happen. Your professors of last semester might even recognize your old familiar face and act accordingly.
Maybe you wonder what this is ail about. And it’s only right you should knowr. The Bachelors have, been sponsoring such an event each year, and the results have really been tremendous. Many a timid young Romeo has
achieved wonders by making the right use of “Say Hello and Smile” week. Secret sorrow's have been known to become anything else but during these days of diplomatic relations. Also, here’s a chance for some shy little frosh to speak to the student body prexy, or the football captain, or even a college proctor. Stranger things have happened. Rumor has it that a member of the Wampus staff was actually recognized by a religious ed major. But of course you can’t believe everything you hear.
No doubt, the little frosh, among others, have been told never to speak to strangers, especially on the street. But that’s what a college education is for. Just remember that there’s no such thing as a stranger on the S. C. campus, and greet everyone you see like a long-lost brother, or worse.
Anyway, it isn’t necessary to know the Charleston or wear loud blazers to be popular.
Smile.”
reaching one hundred and fifty students.
Great interest is being shown by the Architects in the structure of their new building, which Is unique in every respect. When completed the building will cover one full acre of ground and will be only one story high. Fred Gloege, new Architect President is extremely pleased with the central patio, comanonly known as the sunken garden. This patio is in the center of the 1 building and every room in the building has a door leading onto it. It is arranged in such a way that it may be transposed into a theatre, where plays are to be given from time to time during the coming year. Spacious draft rooms and a lecture room made to accommodate one hundred and twenty-five students will afford the Architects ample room for their wrork.
The passing of the Architects from their old building to the new is but another change in the life of the old “shack.” The old building is the original home of the University of Southern California, being built about 1880, and will now serve as the home of the University High School. Moving it to the corner of Thirty-sixth and Hoover will not take it off the Southern California campus, and the high school students will be seen romping around as of yore.
Eds Show Up
Co-eds in Brain Tests
EVANSTON, 111., Sept. 22—There is no sex superiority at the Northwestern University.
After examining nearly 200 mental alertness test papers turned in by the new students in the Liberal Arts College, engineering and public speaking departments, it wyas announced today that the boys are just as bright as the girls. This refutes the popular conception that compared to the co-eds, the college boys go through school with a ball and chain on their cerebrums.
Furthermore, judging from the tests, the crop of students this yaer is better mentally than ever before. The authorities say it is some indication that the selective process lesigned to admit only those who may profit most by the type of work offered has begun to show results.

An assistant manager is to be chosen by the manager from among the members of the band, and is to be trained with a view to making him manager next year when the present manager graduates. Allison, the present manager .requests that anyone particularly interested to see him in. the band office at the Old College building. William Hogue, librarian, for the band, completes the list of officers.
The band members are planning to blossom forth in new uniforms which will be worn *or the first time at the Stanford game. Those in the know refuse to describe the new uniforms, but it is rumored that they are decidedly collegiate in appearance, and ‘‘loud” enough to announce their own presence.
The first appearance of the band will be at the Cal. Tech and Whittier game, Saturday, September 26. New stunts are being planned, and popular music will be featured. The band will also play at all the other S. C. football games, and will appear at the rallies and basketball games. According to present indications, they will be augmented by several instrumental soloists.
The University administration is backing the band financially, is giving one unit of credit a semester to the members, and has practically assured the band of a tour such as they had last year, when they played in the principal towns and cities of Southern California. This year the tour will be later in the season, and will include, Sacramento, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Oakland, San Luis Obispo, etc. In addition, sweaters will be awarded at the end 'of the year to those whose work in the band was outstanding. Last y*».r eight sweaters were thus awarded.
